Our final morning started off with a fantastic start – SNOW! Although it didn’t settle (and was more like rain) it inspired us all to find that last little bit of energy!
For Groups A and B their morning was spent orienteering through a fantastic forest. Just look how happy they were before they realised how far they had to walk! They then spent the afternoon getting soaked through at the beach by the crashing waves. Nevertheless – they still devoured an ice-cream!
Group C and D had a fantastic day journeying up to the Welsh mountains (where they were stuck behind a snowplow). They than had to trek up the snowy mountain until they found the mine entrance. It was in the mine where they heard the infamous story of Mr Jones and his dog, whilst enjoying a candle-lit lunch and a hot chocolate! Just look at that view!
Group E spent their final morning at the beach too! They had a go at rock scrambling – just look at their concentration! In the afternoon, they learnt how to rock climb and abseil using the climbing wall at DYM! All of the children participated – even when they felt a bit nervous!
Overall, the trip was a mighty success. The children all developed their abilities to be: respectful; resilient; and responsible. All of the staff thoroughly enjoyed the weekend too and the staff at DYM commended the children on their fantastic behaviour. Well done Richard Lee!
